The sales of Galaxy S4 being not so impressive, Samsung seems all set to start the year 2014 with a bang. The company is due to launch the world's first smartphone with a bendable screen in 2014, but that is not all. We have some more news for our viewers.
The top-tier Samsung handsets will get a camera upgrade next year and both of them will feature a 16MP Isocell sensor. Thus, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 4, the company's top two upcoming models will get this high resolution camera. This was revealed at Samsung's recent Analyst Day conference, where Samsung also revealed the roadmap for other technologies like displays, processors and memory.
WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF ISOCELL SENSOR?The Isocell technology ensures better light sensitivity on backside illuminated (BSI) sensors and it delivers more natural colours and also better performance in low-light. Samsung also said that its 16MP Isocell sensors will feature 1.12micron pixels, which is lower than the ones in the new Apple iPhone 5S.
Currently, the only Samsung device to have a 16MP camera is Galaxy S4 zoom. Among other companies, Nokia and Sony are the two companies with plus-16MP cameras. So this is also the end of the road for 13MP cameras as a premium feature in Samsung's line-up. Samsung used the 13MP sensor for the first time in 2013 when it launched the Galaxy S4. It was also used in Galaxy Note 3 which is still a big hit. Manufacturers like Sony and LG also use 13MP camera sensors in their top-end devices.
